Getting a document notarised

[kiwiinabd]

I got one of the lawyers at the company (Oil & Gas Company) I work for to stamp it up a copy for me.

He wasn't a proper notary but it worked for me !

Cost me nothing !

I have had to get loads of documents notarised recently and costs me £5 in London - just google a local notary to you

£5.00 would have meant you had your document sworn in front of a solicitor. This is different to having a document notarised Notarised documents usually cost between £60 to £80

I paid £5 for a local solicitor to do my granddaughters deed poll recently .

Thank you for your replies it definitely needs notarised as it’s a DVC document, my solicitor isn’t taking appointments just now, will need to find someone else!

I had to go to 'not my usual' solicitor. Cost me around £80. The US sees notiaries differently to UK, hence the confusion. I found my nearest was about 30 minute drive from me!

Everything you've written is true, but the inflection in your post suggests that a document notarised by a solicitor isn't as good.

Which isn't the case, in almost all cases a solicitor notarised document is as legal as one performed by a specific notary.

Documents are either “sworn” by a commissionaire for oaths ( which is by any solicitor with a current practising certificate ) costs £5 and £2 an exhibit.

Notarising is different and needs to be undertaken by a Notary Public, who is extra qualified in that field. Costs about £80.

A document sworn in front of a Solicitor, who is not a Notary Public, is not a notarised document, it is a sworn document. The Solicitor would accept the oath in their capacity as a Commissioner for Oaths.

A notarised document is one which has been sworn in front of a Notary Public (who may or may not also be a Solicitor).

There's really quite a significant difference between a sworn document and a notarised document, and in some cases only the latter is acceptable (as seems to be the position for the OP).

You can get a certified copy of something from loads of places - this would be a sworn copy - it’s usually done by someone in a professional standing like a solicitor, accountant or financial adviser (usually each company has a list of who they accept)
The notary is different
